Marco Rossi led the Minnesota Wild to a crucial 3-2 overtime victory against the Dallas Stars, scoring just 58 seconds into the extra period. This win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Wild, who are currently fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Rossi's performance included a power-play goal, assisted by Mats Zuccarello and Matt Boldy, who also contributed with a goal and an assist. The Wild's victory was significant as it puts them six points ahead of the Calgary Flames for the final wild-card spot, despite missing key players due to injury.

The Wild's 41 shots on goal reflected their aggressive play, marking a pivotal moment in their playoff race.
